| Tempo SATA X4P: 1) Although labeled a 3726, software identifies the drive enclosure's port multiplier as a Silicon Image 4726, but without the RAID features 2) With no drives in the enclosure, Disk Utility shows a "phantom" SV-2000 device 3) Completely unpredictable performance and reliability of drives mounted in these enclosures. | May-07-09 |

| The Sonnet Tempo SATA card does not work with my Western Digital My Book Premium ES Edition, or Seagate Technology FreeAgent Pro. | Mar-02-10 |
| Sonnet Tempo cards are compatible with most external SATA storage. However, external hard drives with USB 2.0/eSATA dual interface based on the Oxford Semiconductor OXU931DS storage controller chip may not be compatible with Mac OS X when connected via SATA. Known issues are kernel panics occurring when the drive is connected, or the drive not being recognized by the operating system.
Summary of eSATA storage
- Storage with eSATA alone.......................................................compatible
- Storage with Triple interfaces.................................................compatible
- Storage with Quad interfaces..................................................compatible
- Storage with eSATA plus Firewire 400 and/or 800..................compatible
- Storage with port multiplier support (multiple drives).............compatible
- Storage with RAID 0, 1, or 5 (multiple drives)..........................compatible
- Storage with eSATA plus USB (based on JMicron 20366)..........compatible
these compatible drives include, but are not limited to:
1) OWC Mercury On-the-Go USB 2.0/eSATA 2.5" portable
- Storage with eSATA plus USB (based on Oxford OXU931DS)....not compatible
these incompatible drives include, but are not limited to:
1) Western Digital My Book Premium ES Edition
2) Seagate Technology FreeAgent Pro |

| I have connected a large hardware RAID volume (for example, a 4TB Fusion D400QR5) to a Sonnet Pro SATA card in a Macintosh, and it is showing up as only 2TB. Why? | Oct-14-09 |
| Under Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4, a volume greater than 2TB will show as a 2TB volume due to a limitation in Apple's ATA layer (just above the driver). Sonnet plans to provide a 10.4 fix in the next driver release. Under Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6, the full capacity of the RAID volume is available. |

| My Stardom RAIDSonic ST3620-2S-S2 is not reliable with 6Gb drives and and a 6Gb controller. | Jul-08-13 |
| The Stardom RAIDSONIC ST3620-2S-S2 is not reliable when connected at 6Gb. It was designed for 3Gb SATA. If you connected previously using a 3Gb controller, even with 6Gb drives, the connection was 3Gb. With the 6Gb controllers and 6Gb drives, the connection is negotiated at 6Gb, but the connection is not reliable because of the older design of the Stardom chassis does not support 6Gb. The drives may not be recognized or if recognized, transfers will fail at some point. |
